Ok you guys throw light plastics, weightless plastics with a bait caster?

Please clue me in. Brakes off and the friction knob turned out?

A senko actually casts pretty well weightless.  Practice

Throwing a Fluke with 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook is very doable even with a Loomis MH/F and it's easier with a M/F. Senko's and Trick Works are also easy. Reels are Calcutta 100, Conquest 100, Conquest 50 and other 50 size Shimano's. Mostly with 3 brakes on and 3 off with the 100's and 2 on and 4 off with the 50's.

Senkos and flukes are very doable with the right line and rod. I was tossing flukes yesterday with a fuego reel and 12lb Fluoro. The weight of the hook and plastic put them in the range that a baitcaster can handle

LTB 6'8 MXF spinning for wacky Senko or weightless worms and lizards

LTB 7 MF casting and DX743C for t-rigged weightless Senko, Fat Ika and D-shad/Caffeine Shad.

NRX893 t-rigged weightless, DX763sf wacky rigged weightless

-Dx703

-Shimano Cumulus 6'10 MH

-Phenix recon 714

These are my preferred rods for senkos, flukes, caffeine shads, ikas, etc...
